Let us review our sophomore, junior, M of and senior years with these in mind. Responsibility: To the citizen goes the responsibility of holding ottice and the privilege of the tree ballot, so it has been in our three years of high school. ln our sophomore year Everett Gill was elected president, l-lazelyn Myer, vice-president, Martha Battan, secretary, Jaclc Thompson, treasurer. Junior class otticers included president, Robert March, vice-president, Marie Court, secretary, June Ray, and treasurer, Cheston l-lall. Jacls Thompson was relected treasurer in our Senior year when l-larry Clouser was president, Margery Saylor, vice-president, Dorothy Thompson, secretary. A great responsibility and honor goes to a more outstanding citizen, a leader: The President of the United States. Such a position is paralleled at West Chester l-ligh School by the president ot the Student Council, the democratic body representing the free ideas of the student body. This leader in 'l94'l-42 was Donald Grubb, who was assisted by l-lazelyn Myer as vice- president. Physical Fitness: ln the world of today physical Fitness is indeed needed. A clear mind and a strong body are the needs of the most useful citizens. Such citizens will be represented by our athletes, Everett Gill, l'larry Clouser, Theodore Platt, George l-limelright, Joseph Polite, Leslie Pernsley, John Pribula, and Thomas Leary. The girls in this group are: Gladys Sager, l-lelen Shanlc, Jessie lzzi, Margery Saylor, Nancy Shank, Patricia O'Neill, Mary Kates, Betty Wynn, and Esther Scott. Culture: The culture of a nation depends on the people entirely. ln high school the range ol culture includes drama, essays, chorus, band, orches- tra, honor roll, and club activities. The outstanding actors and actresses of our class-Rachel Ann Beal, Edna Kirlc, Margery Saylor, John Dunning, William Johnson, and Willis Weaver-have upheld our name in the productions, Nathan Hate, Stage Door, and EverStnce Eve. An operetta, Hollywood Extra, and a minstrel review, Keep'Em Smitiao have brought Forth our vocal and comedy talents. Eight senior members of the l-ligh School Chorus attended District Chorus, and three of these-Mildred Satterthwaite, Robert Roy, and Margery Saylor were also chosen to' be members of the State Chorus. ln line with the musicians come the band and the orchestra which have Fine representation from the Class of '42 Scholastically we have done well.
